Anyone else find it annoying when people don't list prices when selling stuff in EC?
I can understand on some high dollar items that will probably get haggled or whatever, but why force the extra unnecessary step of "/tell how much do you want for that?" I know I've passed over items simply because no price was listed. Things that might be cool to have for an alt or something, but didn't really need. To me, not listing a price just makes it less likely you'll sell the item. | ||

Avoids unnecessary (and excessive) undercutting battles, maybe? If someone is selling an item for 3k, and you're willing to sell for 2.8k, let the customer find out when they ask you and the other guy won't go to 2.799.
Funnily enough though, whenever I do this I find I get the most inquiries from people who are also selling the same item, so they can undercut anyway. I still prefer it though.

I don't think I've ever really seen much undercutting in the EC tunnel. But I don't really care either way since the price people advertise is almost never what they are willing to sell it for anyways. You should know before hand what the cost of an item is and send in a lowball offer regardless of whether or not they listed a price or not.
And in case anyone doesn't already know about it: http://www.p99auctions.com/ is an amazing resource. | ||

I don't ordinarily list prices because I'll typically accept anything in the general vicinity of a given item's normal value. If I take a slight hit to get out of EC sooner, I consider that a good trade. If I do happen to list a price in an /auc, however, that price is firm and I decline or outright ignore any lowball offers.

Most people are probably just too lazy to look up a price they're good with until after someone expressed interest.
Also a lot of people are miserable little dudes who have more fun trying to squeeze another 100pp out of an item than they do getting the fuck out of ec sooner so they can go actually play the game. | ||

The same reason some websites don't have prices for things until you go to checkout. It's a marketing tactic (that works).
